Magnesium glycerophosphate
Magnesium glycerophosphate is an organic magnesium salt bound to glycerophosphate. LSYGENA offers it to B2B formulators for premium magnesium supplements when digestive tolerance and capsule or powder formats matter more than an effervescent drink.
Specifications
Glycerophosphate, bisglycinate or citrate: which to choose?
Formulator-oriented table: elemental magnesium content, solubility and dosage form. Contents other than catalogue bisglycinate are indicative — the delivered grade’s CoA governs labelling.
| Form | Elemental Mg | Solubility | Capsule / powder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glycerophosphate | ~11–12% by grade (confirm CoA) | Good aqueous solubility | Capsule, powder, stick — premium positioning |
| Bisglycinate | 11.7% (LSYGENA catalogue) | Good | Capsule, stick, powder — relaxation / sleep |
| Citrate | ~16% anhydrous / ~11–12% trihydrate (indicative) | Highly soluble | Drink, effervescent powder; capsule possible |
Bisglycinate 11.7%: commercial value published in the LSYGENA catalogue. Glycerophosphate and citrate: usual grade ranges; request the TDS before locking elemental dose.
Benefits
- Organic form, good digestive tolerance
Applications
What is magnesium glycerophosphate used for?
In nutraceutical brands, this form mainly serves premium magnesium formulas: HPMC capsules, tablets, powder sticks. The LSYGENA catalogue distinguishes it from bisglycinate (relaxation, sleep, sticks) and citrate (drinks, effervescents) through that premium positioning.
It sits in the organic minerals range distributed with Nutra Strategic Solutions. Three commercial contents are already published elsewhere on the site for other salts (bisglycinate 11.7%, taurate 8%, ascorbate 6%). Exact glycerophosphate content is on the batch technical data sheet and CoA.
How does it differ from bisglycinate and citrate?
Bisglycinate is a chelate (magnesium–glycine) with a known 11.7% catalogue content. Citrate is a highly soluble organic salt preferred for drinks and effervescent powders. Glycerophosphate is another organic salt aimed at premium capsules and powders.
The table above summarises content, solubility and dosage form. In practice, the choice is finalised after reading the technical files: taste, hygroscopicity, stick behaviour and elemental dose for your labelling target.
Dosage-form applications
Most common customer uses: single-ingredient magnesium capsules, mineral blend powder sticks, recovery formulas with other actives. Highly diluted or effervescent drinks more often point to citrate, better listed for that use in the catalogue.
For a formulation brief, state the target dosage form and desired elemental dose: we send the technical data sheet and a sample rather than a web approximation.

Frequently asked questions
Is magnesium glycerophosphate an organic form?
Yes. It is an organic salt, distinct from oxides or carbonates. LSYGENA positions it for premium supplements. Exact elemental magnesium content is on the batch certificate of analysis.
Can I use it in a powder stick?
Yes among usual formats (capsule, tablet, stick). Particle size and hygroscopic behaviour are validated on a sample. Request the technical data sheet before locking the fill process.
Magnesium glycerophosphate or bisglycinate?
Two organic forms: bisglycinate (chelate, 11.7% catalogue) leans toward relaxation and sticks; glycerophosphate toward premium capsule/powder briefs. The comparison table on this page (with citrate) frames content, solubility and dosage form before you read both CoAs.
Why compare with citrate as well?
Because citrate dominates drink and effervescent briefs thanks to solubility. If your dosage form is a premium capsule or powder stick, glycerophosphate or bisglycinate are usually the first catalogue candidates.
Where do I get content and CoA?
Via the contact form or the technical data sheet button on this page. We send the supplier documentation for the relevant grade, aligned with what your production will receive.
Is it part of the Nutra Strategic Solutions range?
LSYGENA distributes that Canadian partner’s organic minerals. The exact glycerophosphate SKU is confirmed on quote and CoA, as for other salts in the family.
